I kind of got used to doing it (mostly from motorcycle racing). Just curious. I do it sometimes, if I am coming up to a corner/turn that I want to take in a spirited way.

For the most part, I heel/toe all my downshifts. Honestly, I think driving this car without at least rev-matching your downshifts would be very annoying.

Of course, I tend to think that if you don't know how to at least rev-match downshifts, you probably shouldn't be driving the car in the first place (let's see who that pisses off).

Rev matching whilst downshifting is half the fun

many of "us" use this method of "heel toeing"

s2khondimport - do a search on "heel toe" and you'll find how to do it then..or simply find someone in the IL area to teach you
